20 lackey

"their no need to thank me, isn't it normal for allies to support each other?" Sora asked with a smile, the crowd all nodded quickly at this. agreeing with him, they talked for some time until the elder stepped onto the stage.

this drew everyone's attention the older stood on the biggest stage out of the 10 current stages, it was none other than Elder Mo. with hands behind his back, Elder Mo's pressure spread, forcing everyone to go quiet.

with him on the stage, the tournament began. total of 100 battles would be held today, with 10 arenas, and each battle would last 15 minutes, meaning a total of 2.5 hours would be spent here today.

everyone would only go up once today, with about 980 people here, the 100 people who win today would enter a safe zone, meanwhile, those who lose would enter another zone where they would have another chance to battle those from another arena out there.

So, 2 names went on to appear on top of each stage, Sora was not one of them, but Berry who was within the same group as Sora was one of them. Sora was not worried about her safety, she would win. she was one of the strongest followers he had, she was also the only one who managed to break through already.

just 3 days after Sora began teaching them cultivation, she had broken through to the level 1 body tempering realm. with her cultivation speed, Sora guessed she was a purple or higher talent, she was indeed someone who had a cultivation talent above Sora, it would be some time until Sora could reach her talent.

while the match was going down, many people tried getting close. Sora being the opening person he was, welcomed them all and spoke to them, while answering the question they might have on their matter.

of course not everyone around Sora had their motivation for getting around Sora, Seora knew that Sora would be someone special, some wanted to use him to get far, while others saw the chance to make a friend.

but with how Sora was some, slowly even those who just wanted to use Sora began to see Sora as some time of elder brother who just wanted to make his little brother happy. the past few days, Sora had already made all of them have this idea deep down, and over time Sora only added the firewood to make this idea grow.

with Sora being able to read their thoughts and memories, Sora was able to easily get into each and every last one of their heart. so at this moment, all of them saw Sora as their elder brother,

they talked while watching the battles, but Sora didn't have a match, one couldn't be sure until the final battle started. So, Sora had to wait until the next day, but the next day Sora also didn't have a match.

it was on the 5th day Sora's name was called, once Sora's name was picked everyone's attention was drawn over to the arena where Fu Qin's name was floating above. everyone was quiet, they all wanted to know just how that strange name

slowly, Sora stepped onto the stage, everyone looked at him, speechless at this person's name. no wonder he had a mask, he must have been bullied a lot. but someone else slowly stepped onto the stage, a young woman with a downcast look. she was quite charming, but the look of defeat she had while entering the arena made others feel sorry for her.

"... what's with the downcast look?" Sora asked with a smile, the young woman lowered her head slightly before sighing

"I'm no match for elder brother Fu." She said with a bitter smile, Sora shook his head slightly at her words.

"to give up on yourself before even trying, you have already lost. you will lose, but you still have another chance for another say, I, your Fu Qin will give you on you. so long as you don't give up on yourself. so, how about I give you some training" Sora said with a smile, with a hand resting on his side, the woman was stunned for a moment before her eyes brighten

Her Fu Qin was too nice to her, and she quickly nodded gratefully to her Fu Qin, making those below the stage look at her with envy-filled eyes. they too, wanted their Fu Qin to personally take them.

"... the fuck?" someone's dad's lips twitched seeing this scene. everyone was also speechless, unable to comprehend this. Sora was going around calling himself everyone father, yet no one was angry but happy. what was with everyone's jealous looks? were they ok in the head?

"come, we have wasted a few seconds," Sora said to which she quickly nodded and rushed towards Sora, she didn't have cultivation, but she was stronger than the normal human. she attacked Sora, who easily deal with her attacks while telling her, the flaws in her movement.

So time flashed, and 10 minutes passed, within this short amount of time, the woman before Sora had made years' worth of improvement. Sora's words flew in a way that she could easily understand and comprehend them, allowing her to seemly look as if she could understand anything at a high speed.

everyone's attention was drawn to this match, this was because although Sora was not speaking to them, they could still understand what he was saying. a few of them were even moving, following Sora's words, trying to perfect their punches and kicking.

"elder brother Fu.... thank you." The young woman said with a deep down, before jumping off the stage, Sora nodded slightly towards her. everyone looked towards her with envied eyes, even those who won their matches were jealous, they would do anything to lose to their Fu Qin.

well, with that Sora won. this brought down, with only 490 people remaining, these next 2 days, they would lower the number of people remaining down to 20 people.

So, the next day, instead of the normal 2.5 hours, there were 5 hours in which the tournament would last, each still 15 minutes long. this being the 6th day, 400 lost their matches, leaving only 90 people remaining.

on the 7th day, only 90 people remained, there has been a change to the tournament, as they added a 9th day. So, with this, they had 5 hours to work out who would be the top 20 strongest people in this arena. which took more than 5 hours but it was done in the end.

with this, every arena had picked its top 20 people, with 50 of them, all of them added together there was a total of 1,000 people. of course, those who might have stumbled upon someone strong, but could be among these 1,000 people had to even have a chance to prove themselves.

so, a semi-final was held for the losers to get another chance, which rearranged the ranking greatly. and so, the 9th day arrived. for this, they went to the center of the city, where the biggest arena was held. there Sora and the remaining 1,000 people gathered.

"It's Elder brother Fu." countless people who were in the crowds of people watching the competition cheered upon seeing Sora walking into the arena, leading a group of masked people with him. Sora waved at them slightly, within the past few days many people had created a fan club around him

the club was called My Fuqin Club. Sora was of course speechless by this whole thing, but his actions caused [Charisma] to reach level 9, of course within the past few days many abilities reached level 9, [Recovery] [Toughness] [Endurance] and the 5 senses type abilities all reached level 9.

the 5 senses-based abilities reached a point where Sora can sense through time. for example, he can use [sight] to see into the future or past. of course, he was to work hard to increase just how far he could see. So, within the right of his senses, he could sense 0.1 seconds into the past and future, which was a huge thing.

the stronger he gets, the larger this small amount of time would seem. over time, it could go from 0.1 second minute to hours, days, weeks, and months.

Sora could know what you would think before you even think it, and Sora could know where you would teleport to before you even think of teleporting. but there were some limitations to this,

for one, Sora could see into the future and see how a battle between himself and someone would go, thereby allowing him to plan out a counter to everything one could do. there were limitations to things that he could sense of the future.

he couldn't see himself within the future, he could see how someone would react to an attack or something of the mind, but Sora would not be able to see his next after, as doing so would be him seeing himself within the future. the same went for his attacks as well, he couldn't see his attacks, as his attacks were a part of himself.

well, Elder thunder floated onto the stage on top of his sword, he looked at all 1,000 of them before smiling. these 1,000 were the new sect disciples but now were for the sect rankings, to pick out just how was the strongest amount the 1,000 people here

"those who come within the top 100 would get special rewards, the closer you get into the top 10 the better the rewards. once you reach the top 5, the rewards would be even better, and in the top 3, the rewards would be the best. of course, the first-place reward would be the best. 100 Qi stones, 1 request from the sect, their housing within the inner parts of the sect, and 3 treasures of tier 2." Elder thunder said shocking everyone who heard him

"Well, the answer to who is the strongest is clear. it's my Fu Qin." a woman said with crossed arms as she pointed toward Sora, everyone nodded, their Fu Qin was clearly the strongest here. Elder thunder was speechless hearing this, those within the crowd who didn't know Sora were also speechless, but those who came to watch the few battles with Sora understood.

Elder thunder thought for a moment, before shaking his head, seeing as there were only 10 stages here, he had a thought. calling someone over, they got to work, and before everyone confused eyes, the 10 huge stages were transformed, making them before 100 floating stages, with a unique number ranging from 1 to 100

"the new rules would go as this, pick a stage, and hold on to it for 5 minutes, once you can calm it for 5 minutes without being defeated, then you would have gained that petition in the ranking." He said with a smile, this way Sora can just get out of the way and leave the rest to do their own thing.

seeing as no one had problems with this, he was about to start the competition, but an elder flew over and said something to him. the old man frowned slightly as he looked at the elder, the elder had a helpless look, meanwhile, the elder thunder sighed softly.

"Someone has arrived at the last moment to take part in the finals," He said as he looked towards the entrance to the arena, causing everyone to look over to see a stunning beauty walking into the arena,

"... she was not within the tournament," a few people said with a frown, confusion filled the whole place, and people began throwing confused looks toward the vice sect leader. elder thunder sighed slightly before speaking.

"This is Yun Hailan, she is among your generation, but she skipped the exams and came here all 1,000 of you would keep your portions, it's just that she here aiming for first place," he said softly, everyone frowned slightly hearing this, was this not special treatment?

they looked back towards Yun Hailan, seeing that cocky look in her eyes, they were enraged. their Fu Qin stood by them, and even trained most of the people there. he was the elder brother who was shockingly talented, yet down to earth. yet she just skips all of this? is she better than their Fu Qin?

"what right does she has to skip that when Fu Qin didn't?" Sora's biggest supporters said with deep frowns, elder thought sighed softly hearing this.

"because she is a level 4 body tempering realm expert, with the Sea dragon bloodline." Elder Thunder said calmly, making everyone go quiet. with her cultivation, she would be the person with the highest cultivation realm, she might even be stronger than their Fu Qin.

"..." everyone looked towards Fu Qin, but only saw her look coldly towards the newcomer, Sora was quiet, he didn't say anything, but those around him could feel the slight killing intent.

'the hatred the former owner had is huge... troublesome, if I meet her in battle, I might kill her.' Sora thought as he stopped his shaking hands which were in the shape of claws. Yun Hailan seemed to sense his gaze and looked over toward him, she smiled slightly before she walked toward him.

everyone's eyes followed her, if most of them were not around Berry to see what perfection was, they would be licking this woman's feet. they didn't need to see Berry's face to know how beautiful she was, she must have that mask on and closed her eyes to hide her beauty. the same was for their beloved Fu Qin

"your talent has caught the eyes of the son of heaven, he has decided to bless you with the chance to become his loyal lackey. after you suffer the punishment for hurting one of his people, you shall gain the opportunity." She said with a smile while standing before Sora, Sora's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flash, she would be dead. but he had to stop himself, right now, he would destroy everything he had built within the past 2 weeks.

Wu He was indeed a lucky guy, he caught the son of heaven's eyes by, offering him a unique map he had found on a mission he was on. the son of heaven of course took the gift, and bless him to be his dog. that was the words he said.

"the gift you gave this young master is indeed outstanding. I shall reward you to be my dog, and as my pet, I will feed you well." he was seemly following through with his words, Sora hit his dog, so now Sora had to pay.

since Sora hurt his dog, the son of heaven would give Sora a light punishment, once Sora cut off his dick, and handed over the masked woman, everyone would ok. this was a light punishment, for the chance to follow the son of heaven, it would be Sora's blessing. Sora could brag about being a dog in not just this lifetime, but in his next 500 million lifetimes. what a lucky bastard Sora was.

Sora took a deep breath hearing this woman's words, Sora turned away from her. he might just kill he if he listens to her, but he completely ignored her, acting as if she didn't even exist as if didn't, he might not be able to control himself.

"..." Yun Hailan's face turned dark seeing Sora ignoring her, as the son of heaven lover, she was someone with a high potion within the sect. how dare this masked man ignores her. just as she was about to speak, a masked woman with a figure like that she had ever seen before stepped forward, blocking her.

"you can leave," Tiger said calmly behind Berry, Berry couldn't speak, so he had no choice but to speak. Yun Hailan snapped out of her shock upon seeing Berry, her figure was just... to eye-catching, and she couldn't help but compare herself to this woman.

a guarded look appeared in her eyes, just from seeing the figure, she already realized she was outclassed. it would be a sin for a perfect body to have an ugly face. this before she was a heavenly beauty, if the son of heaven got his hands on this masked woman, what would he need her for?

Killing intent flashed deep within her eyes, she would have a few sect disciples get to work later and kill this thing. she hesitated for a moment before she turned and walked away.

"elder Fu didn't seem to like her much." a few people said in a low voice, that was the first time they saw Sora act like that. the welcoming, elder brother aura from his had disappeared, leaving them all questioning just what was the deal between these two. this was the first time Sora ignored someone who tried talking to him.

in the past, when people disrespected Sora, he laughed it off, showing them just why he was the elder brother. so what if he was one of the youngest people here, he was their elder brother Fi, he was their Fu Qin.

"Fu Qin, are you alright?" a few people walked over to Sora, worriedly asking to see if their Fu Qin was already. seeing them, Sora returned to his act and nodded slightly.

"she just brought back unwanted memories. well, it is going to start, I wish you all the best of luck... on that thought, I will see if I can start an organization, since we are new to the sect, we should stay close to each other." Sora said with a smile, changing the subject. everyone's eyes brightened slightly. they feared that Sora would disappear and fall into the elder generations, but to them, he cared so much about them.
